Chapter 637, Callad Arrives

In fact, Tamu Khan's offensive came slower than expected.

In June, the black-hearted Repp sent the news to Nur, and Nur began to prepare for the war, and the whole city entered a state of martial law. According to the previous plan, Ogle Hawke, the Marquis of Wessenland, led a With more than 15,000 people, Wessen led the army and went to the black fire pass to strengthen the defense.

Nuer began to fully mobilize, waiting for the coming of the war.

Unexpectedly, however, it is reasonable that Tamu Khan and his Chaos army reacted very slowly. When the black-hearted Rep came to Nur and reported the situation to the Nuer City Council, until August, the Chaos army remained still. The princes on the border stood still.

The army of chivalry led by Karad has even reached Nur.

But in fact, it's not that Tamu Khan doesn't want to advance quickly, but that he and his army have reached their limit.

Limits in every sense.

This chaotic army, which has been on an expedition for more than two years, has long been exhausted. They finally arrived at the border prince's land, which is rich in water and grass and populated by people. Why is there no reason to plunder and slaughter it?

The Chaos army was dispersed into thousands of Chaos warbands. They spent several weeks venting the frustration and anguish accumulated during the expedition, and vented all the dissatisfaction and resentment along the way. Chaos' minions continued to extend It was only when they arrived at Mirmidon in the west of the Border Princeland that they were barely repulsed by the large group of defenders there. However, most of the Border Princeland has become a no-man's land. , the massacre caused by the Chaos tribe has seriously damaged the vitality of this area, and it will take at least a generation of reconstruction to barely restore the state before it was destroyed.

Tamu Khan was very satisfied with this, and he finally regained control of the initiative of the entire army, but when he announced that he would regroup all the troops to cross the Black Mountains and attack the empire, this chaotic army encountered an unexpected situation. trouble.

Cracks appeared inside the Chaos army, and many Chaos battle gangs and beastmen deserted. They thought that following Tamu Khan to go on an expedition to the empire would not be worth the loss. Facing Tamu Khan's recruitment, dozens of hundreds of A warband became deserters, fleeing and hiding in the Black Mountains, the forests and badlands of the Border Princes.

Similarly, the Chaos Dwarves are not interested in marching, at least not that much. Gray Prophet Drazhorth has seized many human slaves and supplies in the border prince's territory, and plans to arrange for his men to transport all these supplies back to the Dark Realm. Then think about marching.

Daogan's Chaos wizard leader Say the Faithless was seriously injured in the Battle of Death Pass, and he was unable to control his army. It took Tamu Khan a lot of time to regroup and gather the entire Chaos army.

When they barely regrouped the Chaos army, they found that there were more than 6,000 people missing, and the current number of this army was only 40,000.

And the time has come to August. When Tamu Khan wanted to attack the Black Fire Pass again, the imperial army of more than 30,000 was already waiting in full battle. A heavy rainstorm in summer made the already difficult mountain road become a a swamp.

On the ruins of the border princes, Tamu Khan, the chosen champion of Nurgle, Say the Faithless, the leader of the Daugan tribe, and Drazhorth, the gray-white prophet of the chaos dwarf, are having a meeting.

It had just rained, and the three leaders gathered together. A map was placed on a decayed table and pressed down with a dimension stone.

It's not far from the empire, they have already arrived at the border prince's territory, as long as they cross the black mountain range, they will be the Wessen and Aiwei territories of the empire!

"Stupid! Bastard! Short-sighted!" At this moment, Tamu Khan yelled at the gray prophet: "You and your people have spent too much time! This is not possible! No, dear father, please, hurry up!"

"Huh!" Gray Prophet Drazhorth responded with indifference and contempt. Considering the previous covenant and the victory in the border prince's territory and the death pass, Drazhorth decided not to fight Tamu Khan. Care about.

Say the Faithless, Daogan's wizard leader, is still injured, but he knows why Tamu Khan is in such a hurry.

For Nurgle's corruption is deepening, spreading among Tamukhan's tribes.

Nurgle doesn't like smart things and flexible things, but likes a perpetual cycle of rot and new life. Its corruption will continue to deepen, and the tribe of Tamu Khan will gradually lose humanity and mind. They become stronger, but it will be more difficult for Tamu Khan himself to fulfill his ideals.

At the same time, Tamu Khan himself is also evolving at a rapid rate or deeply corrupted. New suppuration and wounds appear on his body every day. Sooner or later, he will become a lump of rotten flesh. The sense of urgency rises one wave after another.

Seeing Tamu Khan who kept making loud speeches, Say the Unbelievers sneered. He not only agreed with Tamu Khan's order to speed up the march, but also made preparations with both hands.

In this way, with two votes in favor and one abstention, the resolution to march immediately was passed at the war council.

Here comes the question again, how will this chaotic army attack the Black Flame, led by Elector of Tuscany, Grand Duke of Ivey Land, and Sanctuary powerhouse Umberto Corleone, with more than 30,000 defenders? pass?

What's worse, due to the rainy season in August, there were two consecutive heavy rains at the Blackfire Pass, and now that place has changed from a muddy road to a swamp. In this environment, the artillery can be easily transported to the front line.

"There is a way." At this time, the gray prophet suddenly spoke, and he pointed to a place in the black mountain range: "Here."

"Here?" Both Tamu Khan and the Faithless Sai noticed that there was a thin line in the middle of the black mountains with markings on it.

"Yes, there is a road here." Drazhorth put his thick fingers on it: "In our materials, this place has been recorded many times. This place is called Wintertooth Pass. It used to be A mine, long abandoned, and now so many dark beings live there that no one remembers it ever being passable."

"You suggest that we, from there, enter the empire?" Tamu Khan made a dull voice from his sweaty throat.

"Or storm the Blackfire Pass?" Gray Prophet said impatiently.

"..." Now Tamu Khan fell into thinking. If he crossed the Dongya Pass, the tribal army would have to fight a tough battle, but such a decision could catch the empire by surprise, because as long as they crossed the Dongya Pass, It is the plain of Wissenland.

"Leave 3,000 people to contain the imperial defenders at the Black Fire Pass." Tamu Khan raised his battle axe: "The rest of the army will move forward to the Winter Tooth Pass!"

"yes!"

………… I am the dividing line of the Kurgan hunk in action………

At the same time, Nuer City has just ushered in a strong new force.

One thousand Britannian knights, two infantry regiments, one remaining battalion of the Old Guard, and some knight retinues and logistics troops led by the Holy Grail Grand Knight Callard de Gallament, about five thousand The army of men came to Nur.

Nuer sent the most luxurious lineup to welcome them in the grandest way. Almost all the great nobles of Nuer dispatched to welcome the warm-hearted knight brothers on the other side of the mountain with the highest level of welcome ceremony at the gate of the city. The excitement and courtesy were really amazing Flattered the Britannian knights headed by Callard.

Isn't it said that Nur is a very proud city?

Didn't it mean that the two imperial emperors Luitpold and Karl Franz were treated coldly when they came to Nur?

Only Ryan, who was standing on the sidelines from a distance, understood the mentality of the Nuer City Council.

This kind of mentality is called "Ning and Youbang, not with domestic slaves."

This kind of thinking is most common in empires and high elves. As for Brittania and dwarves, it is better. The former is supervised by the fairies in the lake and bound by the spirit of chivalry, while the latter is influenced by the dwarf ancestral spirit and the concept of family blood. .

So why is there such a mentality?

you know.

The knights didn't have time to think so much. The old Sir Krupp, headed by the Nuer Merchants Alliance, immediately took a group of plainly dressed Nuer merchants out of the city to work in the city. and supplies.

Then Emmanuel, the Duchess of the Empire, hugged her son, Frederick Jr., and greeted Karard cordially. Karard had naturally met Emmanuel, and politely expressed that it was his duty to fight against evil. The Britannian knights and old guards quickly filed into the city, while the two infantry regiments were stationed outside the city.

After everything was settled, Callard took the initiative to come to the Elector's Palace to find Ryan, and Ryan suggested that they go out for a walk.

The main reason is that the fairy in the lake stayed with Suria during this time. Recently, the goddess and the female knight often went shopping in the streets, and they went sightseeing together, and they were inseparable.

Callard naturally has no reason not to agree.

They were also joined by Justice Noor Theodor Bruckner.

Just like that, on the streets of the rich Nur district in the twilight, the three sanctuary powerhouses walked together on the street.

"Come from afar, thank you for your hard work, Karad." Ryan walked on the streets of Nur with his hands behind his back. The city has recently become depressed due to the preparations for war, but this does not affect various commercial activities in the rich area. and development of social activities.

In fact, this is also Ryan's suggestion, that is, don't panic, just do what you want, and stability overwhelms everything. Emilia adopted Ryan's suggestion and did not issue a strict curfew or control order, so that the hard work The citizens of Nur maintained their faith in the Empire and in the Nur city council.

On the marble-paved road, the first man has long black hair parted in the middle and no beard. His face is handsome and full of a unique temperament, rebellious and absolute self-confidence. He is about Standing 1.9 meters tall, there is a whirlpool of psionic energy in his eyes, and a hand and a half sword with many mysterious scriptures and runes on his back.

The second man is slightly shorter, about 1.8 meters tall. He has black mid-length hair and a goatee. He has a handsome face with sharp lines and thin cheeks. His blue eyes are full of wind and frost and a more powerful look. strength.

The third man is extremely tall, more than 2.10 meters tall. He has long brown hair, messy like a lion, with a big beard and mustache, squinting eyes, and is wearing a custom-made suit. Black dress, gloomy face, ruthless, taciturn.

"Is the kingdom okay recently?" Ryan asked Calad casually, and the light and shadow of the street lamp shone behind him, pulling out a long shadow.

"Fortunately, nothing major happened. The knights and nobles are busy resuming production and recuperating." Karad walked on the streets of Nur, and could feel the prosperity and prosperity of this heavy industrial city: "As soon as I received your letter, I They rushed over with people immediately, but the time was short and there was no time to gather more people.”

"It doesn't matter, the army is more expensive than more expensive." Ryan shook his head. This war was not originally the task of the Britannian knights, so many were enough.

"Baron Juan and Baron Hux both wanted to come over, but I refused, Mu Xilong's new appointment, the law and order is still not very good." Callard continued: "The best thing is for them to stay where they should be. Contribute, as for supporting the empire, leave it to us."

The three of them casually found an ordinary tavern in the wealthy area. The hotel owner was flattered to see the three sanctuary powerhouses entering, and Ryan ordered two barrels of beer, ten catties of barbecue, five catties of bread and various vegetables. fruit.

The three found a booth and sat down. The waiter brought a large bucket of beer and connected it to the three of them with large beer glasses.

"Cheers!" The beer foam splashed in the dim light.

"How many Holy Grail Knights are here this time?" Judge Nur Theodore drank a large glass of beer in one gulp, and the dripping wine dripped all over his beard: "Your Excellency Earl Garrament?"

"Just call me Callard." Callard also drank all the beer in the glass in one gulp, and Earl Garrament's face was slightly relaxed: "This time ten people came, most of them were from the Duchy of Bastogne and Wenzhou. The Holy Grail Knights of the Ford Principality, following the oracle of the lady, came to Nur to aid our fellow human beings!"

"Okay! In this case, the chances of winning this war will be a little bit higher!" Theodore roared and almost collapsed the ceiling of the tavern. Judge Noor reached out and picked up a whole bar that was roasted golden and crisp, sprinkled with pepper and Cumin, the pork ribs smeared with honey, gnawed directly: "With the help of Lord Ryan and Lord Karard, Tamu Khan will die this time!"

"Don't be careless!" Ryan frowned slightly, and he continued: "According to the intelligence collected by the scouts and the information from the mercenary baron Black Heart Leipp of the border prince, we not only have to deal with Nurgle's God-Chosen Champion, but also Take on thousands of Chaos Knights and Kurgan Marauders, as well as the Chaos Dwarves and their formidable war machines."

"The city council has approved the order to send out the steam tank group and the land boat." Theodore nodded, and Judge Noor threw away the bones that had been gnawed clean, and took out a new pig with a knife Rib: "The Marienburg side readily agreed, provided that the price is right. In order to protect their achievements, they also sent the Mannan Blade Mercenary Group to protect the land ship, and they are also willing to cooperate with us in combat."

"Mennan's Blade Mercenary Group! I remember their leader is not the notorious..." Callard gnawed on a roasted pig hind leg.

"That's right, it's the famous mercenary baron 'Blackbeard' Edward Teach." Ryan nodded lightly: "Recently, this group of mercenary bastards are stationed in Nuer, the two blackbeard Teach and the black-hearted Rip Guys who smell like each other, get together all day drinking and having fun."

"Well... there is no way, mercenaries are like this, drinking, fighting and sleeping with women." Callard shook his head helplessly: "But mercenaries are needed everywhere, I understand it."

"Hahahaha~"

The three Sanctuary powerhouses ate up ten catties of roast pork like hungry wolves, and then ordered two roast chickens and a whole piece of roast beef ribs, which they also ate up.

The hotel owner was a little silly watching the three people eating, and finally Theodore took the initiative to settle the bill.

Coming out of the tavern, Ryan took out a small bag of gold marks, handed it to Karard, and said with a smile: "This is for you, go order a decent dress, this is Nuer, you can't wear armor to the banquet, right?"

"No, I can't take your money." Calad was still wearing a military uniform, and the Grand Knight of the Holy Grail and Godfather of Devon Hill waved their hands in fear: "Your Excellency Ryan, no need."

"Accept, this is a lady's order. Take the money and go order a suitable dress for yourself. You will use it." Ryan insisted that Karard accept it.

Callard had no choice but to accept the money. Seeing this, Ryan nodded and said nothing, and left with Theodore. In the evening, they had to go to the Nur City Council for a meeting to discuss Tamu Khan's movements.

Earl Galament, holding a bag of gold coins in his hand, had no choice but to wander around the wealthy district, looking for a tailor.

After walking a few steps, he found a well-decorated tailor shop, Mrs. Searles Tailor Shop.

Just this one.

Callard didn't think much, and stepped into the store: "Hi~ I want to order a dress."
